La Paz Wine Club Experience

by rlilic on September 23, 2009

by Anabelle Rossell, Coldwell Banker Riveras La Paz and Pedregal de La Paz Sales Representative

Hello there! Thank you for following up on La Paz Wine Club. I feel very grateful for all those Facebook buddies that read my post regarding our first meeting at Las 3 Virgenes. We received a good response when the second meeting was announced from friends and clients.

 

100_7114

Our second meeting was held August 6th. When I arrived, the reunion had already started as Jesus (Chef and host) was explaining us in a map the different regions in Chile and what kind of wine each produced. He explained us how Chile has got a recognition in the last decade for its wine, especially Merlot. At that point one of the attendants, who actually was visiting us from Chile, agreed with him and shared some comments and habits they have as for drinking wine.

 

We started with a 2006 Tamaya Reserve Merlot that we compared to a 2005 William Fevre Reserva Merlot. We were required to review and consider the color, body, nose and taste finding flavours such as berries, vanilla and apple. One of the things that I enjoy about wine tasting is how the wine “grows”, by this I  refer to  when we let the wines breathe and we are delighted with new aromas and taste (blame it on the tanines)…each of us will have a unique perception of it, very personal. By the time we moved on to the 2005 William Fevre Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon you can note the difference on a soft flavor wine and a stronger one. Again, breathing the wine can change your opinion on picking up your favourite wine at the end of the night.

 

Something very particular on this session…we were being “lightly” hit by a storm that was fading away in the ocean, but still could get thunders, a sassy breeze and some loose water drops. It´s very interesting to be seated in a hacienda style patio from historical house in La Paz food district, in the storm, having some good wine.

 

Anyway, back to the meeting…Next thing we´re served it´s a 2006 Casillero del Diablo Carmenére a variety I´ve never tried before. Jesus explains that for a long time this wine was mistaken with a “dirty” merlot until an enologist explained it was a completely different wine, a spicy wine. Even now when I talk to my friends and I explain it might not seem appealing but it is truly something worth to try. It definitely was my top choice for the evening.

 

Last wines to be tried were a 2005 Casa Blanca Pinot Noir and 2005 Luis Felipe Edwards Cabernet-Syrah. Both exquisite wines. My second choice would definitely be the Cabernet Syrah.

 

At the end of the meeting Maria Jose, Jesus´s wife and also chef of the restaurant, surprised us with a typical Chilean dish….choclo cake and basic cherry tomato salad…So delicious! (just writing about it makes my mouth water again). Next time each of us will bring a bottle to be tried, country is still to be defined. Meanwhile, salud!

¡Hola a todos! Gracias por el seguimiento que le han dado al Club de Vinos de La Paz. Me siento muy agradecida con todos mis amigos y colegas en FB que leyeron mi artículo sobre nuestra primera reunión en Las 3 Vírgenes. Recibimos una buena respuesta cuando se anunció la segunda reunión del club.

100_7119

Nuestra segunda reunión se celebro el 6 de agosto. Al momento en que llegué, Jesus (chef y anfitrión) explicaba en un mapa las diferentes regiones de Chile y qué tipo de vino producen. También comentó como Chile recibió un reconocimiento en la última década gracias a su vino, especialmente el Merlot. Uno de los asistentes, originario de Chile, concordó con el y compartió algunos hábitos que los chilenos tienen al momento de consumir vino.

 

Comenzamos con un Merlot Reserva Tamaya 2006 el cual comparamos con un Merlot Reserva William Fevre 2005. Nos pidieron saborear el vino y considerar el color, cuerpo, aroma y sabor, encontrando tonos de moras, vainilla y manzana. Una de las cosas que disfruto sobre degustar vino es como el vino “crece”, con esto me refiero a cuando dejamos que un vino respire y nos deleitamos con el aroma y sabor que adquiere. Cada degustador tendrá su propia percepción del vino, lo cual lo hace muy personal. Al momento en que pasamos al Merlot Reserva William Fevre, uno puede notar la diferencia entre un sabor ligero y uno mas fuerte. De nuevo, dejar que el vino respire puede cambiar la opinión de uno.

 

Algo particular de ésta reunión fue que nos toco de forma muy ligera una tormenta la cual se deshacía poco a poco en el océano. Pudimos distinguir los truenos, una deliciosa brisa y una que otra gotita de lluvia que caía. Lo anterior, combinado con el ambiente tipo hacienda del restaurant en La Paz, hizo la velada realmente encantadora.

 

Lo siguiente que degustamos fue un 2006 Casillero del Diablo Carmenére una variedad que nunca había probado con anterioridad. Jesus explico que durante mucho tiempo éste vino fue confundido con un “sucio” merlot hasta que un enólogo explico que es un vino completamente diferente, uno condimentado. Incluso ahora que hablo con mis amigos y trato de explicarlo tal vez no les sea atractivo, pero realmente es algo que deben probar. Definitivamente fue mi favorito de la noche.

 

Los últimos vinos a probar fueron un Casa Blanca 2005 Pinot Noir y un Luis Felipe Edwards 2005 Cabernet-Syrah, ambos realmente exquisitos, siendo éste último mi segundo favorito.

 

Al final de la reunión, María Jose (esposa de Jesus y también chef del restaurant) nos sorprendió con un platillo típicamente chileno, choclo cake con una ensalada básica de tomate.. Simplemente delicioso que el solo recordarlo me hace agua a la boca. Nuestra tarea para la próxima reunión es que llevemos una botella para que la degustemos, el originen todavía está por definirse. Mientras tanto, ¡Salud!
